Chocolate coated pretzels are definitely one of those treats. Everyone understands what they are, and they&#8217;re generally appealing. But there&#8217;s maybe one or two brands tops that immediately come to mind. <\/p>\n<p>When it comes to coated pretzels, Flipz is that sturdy standby brand, occasionally dabbling in seasonal flavors like Gingerbread <span style='text-decoration:underline;'>or<\/span> Caramel Sea Salt. This year, it&#8217;s Pumpkin Spice Flipz, and I was cautiously optimistic that these would be delicious. The back of the bag even promises these Flipz pair well with &#8220;&#8230;friendz!&#8221; Cute.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Limited-Edition-Flipz-Pumpkin-Spice-Covered-Pretzels-Waft.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Limited Edition Flipz Pumpkin Spice Covered Pretzels Waft\" title=\"Limited Edition Flipz Pumpkin Spice Covered Pretzels Waft.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When I opened the bag, I was hit with a waft of pumpkin spice aroma so strong that I could have closed my eyes and convinced myself I was standing in the candle aisle of a HomeGoods. It was powerful. There was a slight buttery vanilla scent as well. I was a little concerned the flavor would be terrible.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Limited-Edition-Flipz-Pumpkin-Spice-Covered-Pretzels-Innards-Bite.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Limited Edition Flipz Pumpkin Spice Covered Pretzels Innards Bite\" title=\"Limited Edition Flipz Pumpkin Spice Covered Pretzels Innards Bite.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, the smell straight out of the bag is a strange tease compared to the actual taste of these covered pretzels. The taste is sweet and pretty reminiscent of white chocolate Flipz at first. You can taste the salty pretzel, and then there&#8217;s a lingering aftertaste of pumpkin spice. <\/p>\n<p>The pumpkin spice flavor is so mild at first that I&#8217;m not certain I would have noticed it if I wasn&#8217;t trying to detect it. I do think the flavor builds as you eat more, but it certainly takes its time. Not at all like the experience of opening the bag. While a lot of pumpkin spice-flavored snacks tend to overdo it, these left me wanting more. <\/p>\n<p>There was also a white drizzle across some of the pretzels, but it was purely decorative. They all had a similar blend of white chocolate, vanilla, and pumpkin spice flavor despite the amount of drizzle on top. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Limited-Edition-Flipz-Pumpkin-Spice-Covered-Pretzels-Drizzle.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Limited Edition Flipz Pumpkin Spice Covered Pretzels Drizzle\" title=\"Limited Edition Flipz Pumpkin Spice Covered Pretzels Drizzle.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Overall, these seasonal Flipz are fine. You could probably open a bag of these as a fire-safe alternative to lighting a pumpkin spice candle in a small room. Thankfully, the taste isn&#8217;t at all overwhelming, and you could easily eat a full serving without wanting to boycott pumpkin spice-flavored snacks until next August. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $2.98<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 7.5 oz pouch<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> Jewel-Osco<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 6 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (1 oz\/7 pieces) 150 calories, 5 grams of fat, 5 grams of saturated fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 85 milligrams of sodium, 21 grams of carbohydrates, 13 grams of sugar, 12 grams of added sugar, and 2 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some snacks are so ubiquitous that I&#8217;m surprised there isn&#8217;t more branded competition in the US retail snack world.
